most people seriously don't smell great, let alone 'intoxicating'. though, on the rare occasion, i've met people who didn't smell bad which is a nice change tbh, when there's no overwhelming scent of BO, and when even if the wind blows past you're not getting a face full of 'eeww'. that's always nice. usually it's people who shower regularly and correctly that smell nice
also why is sephora so fucking expensive. i have a $25 gift card and that's not even enough to buy me a single decent highlighter…..
But like…even without the bo, people just smell meh, if there's even a scent at all. Like calm down YA authors, I'm not Edward Cullen, people don't smell like roses
the only attractive smells are vanilla orange creamsicle and public swimming pool
anything else is overrated
false, the smell of baked goods coming out of the oven, particularly bread
Oooo, fresh baked bread with homemade apple butter smells amazing and tastes even better. Also "public swimming pool" is not valid as a good scent, chlorine smells gross
I think one of the only reasons I’ve ever used “his/her/their scent was intoxicating” because the person smelling was some type of monster that intended to eat the person and either
- Failed
- Succeeded
- fell in love instead?? damn…
Oh and there was another monster character who used scents to attract her prey hence how it could be used from a human perspective.
But literally the only intoxicating scent examples I can think of are from my monster characters
But as a human I’ve never smelled someone that could be described as intoxicating
I’ve smelled scents that smell pretty good, and some people have some really good smelling shampoo but would I describe it as intoxicating? nope
now candles? some candles really ARE intoxicating
Also "public swimming pool" is not valid as a good scent, chlorine smells gross
you're gross.
At least I don't smell like disease and child piss
Anyone have characters that smell of something? Soáki constantly has the scent of blood on him but that's it.
They just smell like their shampoo and conditioner because I'm not a psychopath who puts effort into giving them unique scents
I mean, I love my best friend's scent (she smells like a comforting heavy warmth idk how else to describe it, but it's nice)
I've been told I smell like nothing? I've also been told I smell fresh? Which is fair, I guess. But oddly enough to myself, I smell like pollen (including in the winter so don't even start)
tldr, people have natural scents that can be enhanced or dampened thanks to modern things like soap, perfume/cologne, deodorant, and shampoo (which also explains why some artificial scents don't snell good on some people versus smelling good on others, cuz of clashing natural scents)
Most of mine just smell like the ocean
They're pirates, so duh
The one who isn't a pirate is part fish

Y'all are really ignoring petrichor, huh.

I feel like based on their surroundings and living spaces, Aquila would probably smell like various garden plants, Fallon, Liam, and Ciara would have a faint mix of ocean mist and firework smoke, Mica and her family might be closer to moss and pine wood, and Lyra's still a ghost, no smell there.
however these are webcomic characters so their scent likely will never come up and I've probably just thought way too much into small worthless details instead of working on the actual story or characters
lorelei loves perfume, so she smells like a different one every week. very careful to keep to nice scents and not overdo it. it gives her headaches if there's too much. also the clothes she wears to work smell like baked goods because bakery, and if you repeatedly do something orgo somewhere with a noticeable scent like that, its gonna stick. hence, after camping for a week I smell like smoke and the woods
jo smells like garden dirt lmaooo
I wish there was an app to design board games. I wanna play Maetakai.
I’ve rarely ever thought what any of my characters smell like
I can think of one who smells like clean clothes fresh out of the dryer though
I've really only given much thought to Sophie, but she smells like coconut because soap and assorted candles because she works at a little shop that sells random books and shit
I wish there was an app to design board games. I wanna play Maetakai.
Make it by hand you coward
see, like that one tumblr post said
it's actually a realistic thing IF it makes sense. hobbies or jobs or whatever can actually rub off on you like that, again especially things like working at a bakery, dealing with leather, living near the beach, etc
though, a character who has no reason or knowledge of a scent shouldnt be able to recognize it. if your character has never even seen a horse irl why can they recognize the scent of tack or hay on a horse tender person

oooh that should exist-
someone should learn coding and app making or whatever and make this exist

I really wish there was an app/website where you could just type in features and stuff and it would model a character after it. Like picrew but you can just type in stuff like specific facial features, etc.

Nasty is what it smells like
It depends on the hay
I have to deal with multiple forms of it a lot, and I can say the timothy hay for my chinchildren smells better than the stuff in the field, but that stuff also smells better than whatever that one haystack in the corner of the barn is
usually hay smells good tho, just not the animals eating it

No. No it doesn't. It burns your nose and eyes and ruins your hair. I'm trying to be healthy, not soak in bleach

I didn’t say it feels great, I said it smells great.
